A PowerPoint Slide Advises Professors to Alter Teaching to Pacify Armed Students
A presentation at a faculty forum at the University of Houston that circulated Tuesday on Twitter has raised pressing questions about how professors will adapt to Texas’ controversial new campus-carry law.

A PowerPoint slide in the presentation, arranged by the president of the central campus’s Faculty Senate, Jonathan Snow, provides suggestions for faculty members to alter their behavior, among other things, when the law takes effect for all four-year public colleges in the state, on August 1.

Opponents of the law, which will allow people with concealed-handgun permits to carry their weapons into public-university buildings, seized on the image as proof that many professors will feel they need to change their curricula or tiptoe around emotionally volatile students for fear of attack.

Don't like what your teacher teaches.
Show him your gun as a tactful reminder you can blow his shit way any day of the week.
(If this is really needed)
Texas, hiding unpleasant information with the barrel of a gun, coming soon to a Republican led state near you.
